Which kind of molecule passes through the lipid bilayer of the cell membrane?

Biology

Because the membrane is made of lipids, typically fat-soluble (non-polar) molecules are able to pass easily. In addition, smaller, uncharged polar molecules can also pass through. Use the attached diagram to help you understand.

Gas makes things buoyant, why ? And what are ways that this could be useful?
ryzh [129]

Answer:

Gas makes things buoyant by making the volume of an object lighter than the surrounding fluid it is trying to displace.

Gas Buoyancy is useful in the following ways;

• Airships

• Steel ships and

• All floating and flying vessels

Explanation:

Buoyancy is the tendency of an object to float in a fluid such as air or water. It is a phenomenon that was theorized by the mathematician, Archimedes known as the Archimedes Principle.

It states that the upward buoyant force that is exerted on a body immersed in a fluid is equal to the weight of the fluid that the body displaces.

The principle explains the reason why objects float and fly.

So, when an object is immersed in a fluid, it can float due to the upward force exerted by the fluid on the object. But for this to happen, the object has to weigh less than the fluid it is displacing.

This is where the use of a gas comes into play.

Because the object may be heavier than the surrounding fluid it is trying to displace, it is filled with a large amount of gas (usually hydrogen and/or helium) which is lighter. This makes the volume of the gas and the object put together lighter than that of the surrounding air.

This is what causes objects to float or fly

Which is a major by product of respiration? Choose the correct answer.
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

This question is incomplete as it lacks options, however, it can be answered. The answer is:

CARBON DIOXIDE (CO2)

Explanation:

Cellular respiration is the process by which glucose is broken down in an organism's cell to release energy. Although the process involves series of reactions, however, the general equation is as follows;

C6H12O6 + 6O2 ➡ 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy

Based on the above equation, the inputs are glucose and oxygen while the outputs are carbon dioxide and water. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the major byproduct of the respiration process.

LDL (low-density lipoprotein) contains
Basile [38]

Answer:The correct answer is " a"

LDL contain protein,triglycerides,phospholipid and cholesterol.

Explanation:

Low density lipoprotein,or LDL,are complex aggregates of lipids and protein.Their function is to transport lipids (fats) around the body,in the bloodstream,and to the cells where its required.Apart from this,it also carries triglycerides,phospholipids and fat soluble vitamins.

Lipoprotein is composed of a hydrophobic core that is made up of polyunsaturated fatty acids and cholesterol molecules,along with a lipid membrane that contains protein called apolipoproteins.

There are 4 major classes of lipoprotein:

•chylomicrons

•very low density lipoprotein(VLDL)

•high density lipoprotein (HDL)

•low density lipoprotein(LDL)

Compare how solar energy is absorbed and emitted by Earth's surface
bekas [8.4K]
About 23 percent of incoming solar energy is absorbed in the atmosphere by water vapor, dust, and ozone, and 48 percent passes through the atmosphere and is absorbed by the surface. Thus, about 71 percent of the total incoming solar energy is absorbed by the Earth system.
